Message | Now, do NOT "misinterpret" this bill. It does NOT mean that if their is a national riot or if criminals break FEDERAL law that the Commander-in-Chief (President) doesn't have the power to dispatch Federal troops to enforce the law. On the contrary, the President reserves the POWER to dispatch Federal troops to disband a national riot and/or enforce Federal law. |
